Waxman Digs Into McClellan's Accusations

There was more fallout Tuesday from former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan's book-tour media blitz and his revelations about how the administration instructed him to relay information and alleged misinformation to the news media and the public. House Government Reform Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA) has asked Attorney General Michael Mukasey for unredacted copies of FBI interviews with McClellan and others over the leak of the name of CIA employee Valerie Plame Wilson. "New revelations by former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan raise additional questions about the actions of the president and the vice president," Chairman Waxman wrote. "Mr. McClellan has stated that 'the president and vice president directed me to go out there and exonerate Scooter Libby.' He has also asserted that 'the top White House officials who knew the truth -- including Rove, Libby and possibly Vice President Cheney -- allowed me, even encouraged me, to repeat a lie.' It would be a major breach of trust if the vice president personally directed Mr. McClellan to mislead the public.”
